RI. Rev. Bishop A. C. Garrett Of
Northern Texas electrified this peo-
pie during the past week. He is re
garded as perhaps the leading ora
tor Of his church in England and
America. Certainly he is the most
finished and fluent speaker We ever
heard, possibly with an exception,
gifted with "a most marvellous flow
OF language that bubbles and spar
kles aud efervesces like q mountain
stream-of the purest English, en-
riched with clear, silvery Irish &C
cent that enraptures the auditor
with its ringing sweetness of tone.
Moreover, be is q man of profound
thought. HIS sermons were grand
beyond our power to describe. lie
is the readiest man on the CONT
nent, we expect. You cannot sur
prise him. He seems loaded espe-
cialIy for whatever topic is propos-
ed and he says the very best and
most appropriate thing to be said,
dressed in rich and ornate express
sion as if studied a week. He is q
wonderful man, END withal pious
and devoted christian.

Prof. WhIttaker's Report.

The report Of the superintendent
Of the public schools came to hand
yesterday. Mr.. Whitaker mad
vertently carried it off with him
and sent it back. There has been
no concealment or effort to escape
inspection, as has been intimated.
The report shows a splendid state
of affairs, and that the system Is
now fairly on its legs. He shows
that the cost per scholar has been a
little less than $l1-a remarkably
low figure. 1t will be even less
than that, doubtless, now that all
the difficulties and expenses of
starting have been met and passed.
